A highly compressed, heavy display face built from chunky, rounded-rect strokes and tight counters. The letterforms lean forward and are consistently cut through by a horizontal “break” that splits stems and bowls, creating a segmented, stencil-like construction. Curves are simplified into blunt arcs, terminals are abrupt, and the overall rhythm is punchy and compact, with simplified geometry and occasional idiosyncratic joins that amplify the engineered feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, campaign headlines, event titles, and logo wordmarks where the slashed construction can be read as a deliberate graphic device. It can also work well on packaging or apparel graphics, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The sliced midline gives the type a sense of speed and interference—part racing stripe, part glitch—producing an assertive, slightly mischievous tone. It reads as energetic and experimental, with a retro-futuristic edge that feels at home in bold, attention-seeking contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while using a consistent midline slice to create a distinctive signature. It prioritizes motion, attitude, and recognizability over neutrality, functioning as a bold graphic element as much as a reading face.
The recurring horizontal cut is a dominant motif that can reduce clarity at small sizes, especially where it intersects key identification points in letters and numerals. Spacing appears tight and the compact proportions create a strong texture in lines of text, making it best treated as a display voice rather than a general-purpose workhorse.
